Instead of looking up tutorials, I just started experimenting on my own with different techniques, tools, and styles, and now I can sculpt relatively well. (In the attached image, everything except the animals, cups, and diamond is a sculpture).
- I used play the viola, and one of my favorite things to do was to play the melodies of songs that I liked. Since virtually all of them had no sheet music-- especially not in alto clef-- I would learn to play them by ear. It usually took about half an hour of trial and error until I could complete an entire song.]]> 2021-08-30 01:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703262313 owenboyd24 https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703262901 -In one of my other courses, my professor began class by having us write down what we believe special education is, then ended the class by having us revise our definitions with consideration to what we learned during the lesson.
-When I was in elementary school, my CLUE teacher would sometimes have us fill out KWL (what I know / what I want to know / what I learned) charts during our classes.]]> 2021-08-30 01:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703262901 owenboyd24 https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703263336 - One of my professors split our class up into random teams, gave each team a word that we thought was important to being respectful in the classroom (consideration, kindness, etc.), and had the teams provide examples of how the given word might be demonstrated in our classroom. I was in a team of two, and my teammate and I both came up with examples of kindness that the other had not considered.
- A few of my teachers in my past (mostly elementary school) would give us assignments that we would work on individually, then get into small groups to discuss. Whenever we got varying answers on questions, we would all discuss how we got our answer to help each other out.]]> 2021-08-30 01:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703263336 owenboyd24 https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703263866 - When I took geometry in high school, my teacher was great at creating his own word problems/real-world examples to explain formulas whenever the textbook only covered procedure. It made it easier to remember how to use each formula since I would usually have something tangible to which I could relate it rather than just shapes.
- When I took personal finance in high school, we would often "do" the things we were learning about in real life. We would write pretend checks, fill out pretend job applications, go car shopping online, etc. after learning how to do each thing.]]> 2021-08-30 01:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703263866 owenboyd24 https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703264198 - I recently began playing a new video game and, like most games, it began with a tutorial level. The tutorial starts off by showing a scenario, pauses and gives and explanation on what buttons to push and why, then resumes the game so that the player can try it independently. After the tutorial level, the player is able to use what was learned independently in order to play the game.
- One professor gave the class an assignment to define the key terms in our current chapter of our book, so I was intentionally learning what each term meant for the sake of that knowledge itself.]]> 2021-08-30 01:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/owenboyd24/a50dvu98cqrcs2sp/wish/1703264198
